title = "Phylogenetic analysis of francisella tularensis group A.II isolates from 5 patients with Tularemia, Arizona, USA, 2015–2017",
abstract = "We examined 5 tularemia cases in Arizona, USA, during 2015–2017. All were caused by Francisella tularensis group A.II. Genetically similar isolates were found across large spatial and temporal distances, suggesting that group A.II strains are dispersed across long distances by wind and exhibit low replication rates in the environment.",
